Block A consists of the Freehold Premises, 25, 25A, 26, 27, in Clement's-lane, Lomba d-street, with No. e, 10, and 11, Nag' He d- ourt, a , d 3, 4, and 5, Church-court, the whole forming a magnificent block of premises, with lights, and entrances on three sides, and extending back t Gracechur ih street ; it has 6i feet f: ontage and 150 depth, and ontaius 9,900 square superficial feet, and is the largest block so near Lombard-street that, has been in th; market lor some years. ißlock B consi•ts of the well-known Leasehold block of New Offices, situ rtes 29, Leadenhal -street, near) , op posite the Peninsular and Ori n a Company's Offize, and extending bark io Lime-street-- qu are ; it has been meted with n the list three y. , ars, from the designs of John Which cord, E q., n'd contains 120 firs -class Of es, with 'Foul* Sho .5, the who e let to first-caiss Merchants and other.; it ha fire-proof torrid rs and stone at areases, ant poss• uses the most modern i ;iproveracnts, including Telegraph Sta ton, Buffet, Ste., in ihebuild n'. The le:ise is for 91 ye rs, at a ground-rent of £7OO per annum; it has a fiontaee of nut et, and 170 feet in death, and sont.ins 12,0.0 squ :re supei Mut, feet.

With a very trilling outlay thcs ,in accord .ace witsthe plans and designs origin illy m e, will be converted in about throe w e sin o Offices, and wo-thiids ot the building has a ready been let, the grow +d floor and mcz .sine floor toting, rented by she Credit obider ant Credit Fancier Companies. These Pre mises arc Leas-hold fur / years, at a ground-rent of £6.0 per annum. • • Rims D consists ef the new and substantial block of Offices, erected si ithin the •ast three year s, and arc built in the most übstan it manner. It oestrous fifty-five offices, be sides vaults, the whole, exc. piing four, being let, and offers being made for these. It is Frecho d, has a frontage ot n 2 feet anal depth of B.lfeet,centa.ins 4,1110 equare feet, tied is dal cued a: 6 , Great Tower-street, near Mark lase. Block E is the largest block in the City ; it Is sitate in lli s h opsg ate-street, opposite St. Helen's-plac, with a thorou Mare to be got through to Old Broad-street, and in the centre of the block adjoins Gresham House ; it contains 25,.00 squire feet. It may be convenient to give au idea of the size of this fine site ot land, to say that it is more than four times the size of the Auction Mart, lately sold, and when covered will be among the largest and mostconveniently ar ranged Offices in the City. This plot is Leasehold for 90 years, at a ground rent of .£4,000 per annum. The price at which the City Offices Company (Limited) has agreed for the purchase of the whole ot the before enume rated five blocks is .£165,000, including all buildings thereon; this price gives. after adding thereto the cost of purchasing the freehold f the whole of the leasehold portions, and de ducting* the value of the new buildings thereon, an average price of only .£0 per square foot. which, compared with the prices paid for the three last properties within six weeks, gives thelollowing results, viz.:— Thu Auction Mart (Freehold), containing an area of about 5,80. square foot, cost £ t r 1,25 , which gives an average of £2O per foot The Leasehold Premises, No. 80, Lombard-street, occupied by the Colonial Insurance Compsny, containing only 1,080, feet, sold to a well-knows Banker for £3 1,000, subject to a grou d-reut of £5OO per annum, for 61 years, which, a , low mg as in former calculations tor purchase of freehold, and deducting the value of new buildings thereon, gives £37 per square foot. The Leasehold Premises in Finch-lane, lately occupied by t' e London and Middlesex Bank, containing only 6,0 feet, realised ..£lO,. 0, and this subject to a ground-rent of £5 per annum, which, allow ng nor purchase of freehold, and deducting value of new building, gives about £3O per square foot. It will be seen, therefore, that if large profits can be rea lised, as they undoubtedly can be, on land costing £‘o, L 3 , and £37 per foot respectively, the prospects and probable profits of those acquired by this Company, costing only £9 per foot, will be evident at first sight ; it they were re-sold at even the 1, west of these three quetations, it would leave the City Offices Comeau (Limited) a very large profit on the cost. The Company's plan of operations will consist in adapting such of these premises as may be suitable ' and erecting new buildings on the remainder, the whole to be let off as Offices suitable for Banks, largo Companies, or Commercial and Professional Firms ; and from calculations made, based upon moderate rentals, a return of from r 5 to 20 per cent. on the outlay may be fair y relied on. The Company will also from time to time acquire other properties. as the op, ortunities present themselves, f r the purpose of re-sale or otherwise. By the issue of Debentd es or otherwise. the paid-up Share Capital will be kept at the lowest possible point. It is believed that as an essentially Home Investment, one so secure, and at the same time so remunerative, is rarely brought to the notice of the public, being wholly free irom the speculative character incidental to many joint-stock en terprises ; the model on which the business operations will be conducted will be that of Gresham House Chambers, in Old Broad-street. City Bank Chambers, Threadneedle-street. and County Chambers, Lombard-street, the success of waich is well known, the only difference being, that whilst those properties are in the hatuis of a few capitalists, the proper ties acquired by this Company w llbe distributed over a large body of Shareholders, which will thus put investors of mode rate means in the same position to reap the advantages of large returns oa City property, which the magnitude of the amounts required has hitherto made it impossible to aoy but very wealthy men to undertake. In the a lot nent of Shares, a proportion will be reserved for applicants who .re Shareholders in the Mercantile Credit Association (Limited), and the Credit Fonder (Limited) ; the remainder will be distributed among the general public. In the vent of no allotment of Shares being made, the de posit will be returned in full. Should a les, number of Shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made avatabie towards the payment due on allotment, and the balance, it any, returned so the applicant. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares in the form annexed may be obta;ned at the Temporary Offices of the Company, at the 0111 es of the Mercantile Credit Asso ciation (Limited), 21, Threadneedle-street; and the Credit Fonder (Limited), 80, Lombard-street ; also of the Bankers, Brokers, Solicitors, and Secretary.

What they want are good bills, drawn on those who, know ing the value, have accepted for a fair advance. Division of labour is he. e as elsewhere found to be most convenient and profitable. To meet this want, which every merchant must acknow ledge, the Warrant Ranking Company is formed. The bu i ness of the Company will mainly :onset in making dv nces upon deposit of the staple articles of produce, represented by dock warrants or other means of absolute assignment, duly inspected and v lued on behalf of the Company, and with a proper margin to allow for depreciation. These advenees will be ma le is a ceptances by the Com p ny of the drafts of its customers, and as every bill will re - nresont mer handise readily convert ble, and b • at the same time secured by the whole ca itas cf a poweriul Company, the exact position of which wig be patent'to ale there can be no doubt that the whole Dis ount Market will be availablewhen it is desired by th • holder to turn the bill into c ,sh. It will be readily apparent that the existence of such an institution, while it will be of great service to meros ante, an i increase the stability of the ent re c'ass, be an equal con venience to bank et s and nis ount firms,f urnishing them with a class of bills ra-ely obtainable. In order to render the due payment of the Company's acceptances certain, the Directors undertake that the entire paid-up capital of the Company will be invested, and. so far as practicable, remain invested in British and }list Indian Government securities, and upon deposit at call, at d it is propos-d hat the capital thus paid up and invested within the first year shall reach the sum of at least £200,' oe. Th field which exists for such an undertaking will be at once apparent from a glance at the Board of Trade returns of foreign impor s for the past year. which amounted (not to speak of home produce) to over £200,t 00,000. If we estimate the average stock of for ign goods held in warehouse, as equil to three months' consumption, it would represent an amount of .E50,e00,000. Advances may also be made when deemed advisable non Mocks and Shares, in permanent undertakings readily con vertible. A. re isonable proportion will always he maintained be tween the extent of business undertaken a-si the cal ed-up capital. Should it be necessary, the latter will be increased to one million sterling, to ba invested as already indicated, simply as a guarantee fund.

PRUSSIAN HEADQUARTERS, KOLDING, March 12. In default of great battles, the results of which speak for themselves, soldiers naturally make the most of small engagements, and it was amusing to observe the excitement the Austrians at Veile were in about the fight of the Bth, which was but a petty affair, although its features and the nature of the ground certainly gave it a peculiar interest. It had all the outline of a very serious and bloody engage ment, an outline which merely required filling up by larger bodies of troops and a more stubborn re sistance. The preparations made were for a long defence, such as might have lasted for days instead of hours ; but information from Danish sources has confirmed me in the belief that they were not made with a view to that particular affair, but long previously, when the course the war might take was qaite uncertain. With larger forces, and had they fought with hopes of victory instead of merely fa the honour of their flag, the very advantageous positions which extend for some distance to the south of Veile would have been the scene of severe -ese flicts, the trifling cavalry skirmish mentioned in my last might have been converted into a serious combat, and the Austrians would certainly not have been allowed to establish themselves on the wind mill height commanding the town without much greater loss than the very small one they up to that point suffered. Even with a strong force, it may be doubted whether a serious defence of the town would have been attempted when once the enemy bad got his guns upon the hill which so completely commands it, but the high wooded hills beyond it would surely not have been abandoned at the first threat of a flank attack. lam curious to see the Danish account of the affair. The D sues at Veile and here declare that the Ist and 11th Regiments, which fought at Oversee, had not been reinforced since then, and consequently could be reckoned only as equal to one ordinary regiment ; but there is reason to believe that each of their four battalions had been made up, either by draughts from other corps or in some other way, to 600 men, and the 7da Regiment was probably stronger. The Viele and Kolding Danes, who are bitter against the Ger mans (and against the English, too, for not having come to their assistance) have got a story in which they obstinately persist, to the effect that when the heights north of the town had been abandoned and the retreat commenced, the Ist Copenhagen Infantry and the Danish Dragoons and Hussars waited for their pursuers on the top of the hill, and when the latter came up the Copenhageners delivered a close volley and charged with the bayonet, and the cavalry made &charge in flank, cutting up numbers of the Austrians. One person in Veile told me that he counted 130 dead Austrians. It is difficult to attach credit to these stories, and my own belief is that there was no fighting worth speaking ot after the fortified position on the centre hill was abandoned end the Danes retreated northwards. The Danes in Schleswig and Jutland have repeatedly told me that the Austrians and Prussians return their losses as less than they rea lly are, but there is not the slightest reason to be a lleged for their doing so, and it is well known that nominal returns of killed, wounded, and missing are published regularly at Vienna and Berlin. Where the Austrians chiefly lost at Veile • was among the last houses of the town, when they came close under the fire from the heights. In this part of the affair Baron Lowenstern, a Irolsteiner by birth, attached to the Staff of General Gablenz, is reported by hie comrades to have particularly distinguished himself. When the infantry ad vanced to take the bridge and town, he dismounted from his horse and led them on, the large amount of red in his Austrian Halan uniform rendering him a conspicuous mark for the enemy. When the town was cleared he took up a dead man's rifle and cart ridges and bore an active part in the combat until the Danes retreated. It was then that, as certain Veile and Kolding burgesses exultingly, but I be lieve fabulously, relate, the cavalry and the intrepid Copenhageners (under the same colonel, Muller, who commanded them at Oversee) "smeared," to use the Danish term, the pursuing Austrians. If it be a consolation to these poor people to invent triumphs for their troops, none can grudge it to them, for they unquestionably have a good deal to bear just now, especially in the form of heavy con tributions in kind imposed upon them by the invad ing army. By &sire of the most respectable bur ' gesees of this place I have been assured that, since the first entrance of the Austro-Prussian forces, the little town of Kolding has daily been mulcted to the extent of 2,000 Danish dollars (2s. 3d. sterling per dollar) in order to supply the rations exacted from them. This is very hard upon the people, even though they should ultimately receive compensation from their Government—as was the case, to a most liberal extent, I am informed, after the last war in these provinces. The lodging of the troops, too, although only for short periods at a time, has weighed heavily upon the Jutland towns and villages they have passed through. The billeting 'tickets (all those, at least, which I have stet,), issued by the authori ties of the town, bore upon them that the soldiers quartered must also be fed. They have a right to coffee and other comforts, and I believe the understanding is that they give their rations and are supplied with meals—a bad exchange for those who have to house them. In some of the poorer dwellings in which they are quartered the hosts •hprrr.,, , l7FA live from hand to mouth. and. hw,ing• /- • • • • // PRICE 4d. STAMPED ....sd. nothing, can, of course, give nothing, but where there is anything the foreigners demand and obtain their share, and I have myself been present when they entered the kitchens of houses and asked for their food, which the people seemed to admit that they had a right to in virtue of the terms of their billeting paper. They are entitled to straw to sleep upon, to lights and fuel, and of this last article they are by no means economical, probably feeling a good deal of warming necessary after all the cold they have gone through. Of the conduct of the moo generally I must say that in no place that I have visited in Schleswig or Jutland have I heard env serious complaints. Hero, in Ko:ding, I am told that, one night of the week jast over, a great number of Prussian troops came in very late ; therge appears to have been no regular distribution cf billets; the men put themselves up where they chose, some of them got drunk, and some shopkeepers complain of having been rob . ned. But even the bitterest Danes with whom I have spoken admit that, as a rule, the conduct of both the Austrian and the Prussian sol diery has been good, and that the exceptions have been verytfew, and not a single case has come to my knowledge of people having been beaten or otherwise personally ill-treated, as is so commonly the case when an army is in an enemy's country. I need not say that with this locust like cloud of soldiers living in great measure on the land, in a &strict where places like Veile and Kolding, which in England, we should call large villages, are the principal towns, things eatable get dear and very scarce. I hear of persons being put to great shifts for a meal—not for want of money, but because tolerable provisions are often not to be bought at any price. lam told that horseflesh is no un common focd with the lower classes in this coun try, and few things would surprise me more than to be furnished with proof that some of the steaks I have lately eaten did not proceed from quadrupeds of that description. Here, in Kohl ing, there are much fewer troupe than there were, and some left this very morning, but others (Prussians) are expected to-day, if they have not already arrived, and there are a great many officers in the place, which makes it difficult to find quar ters. In campaigning, however, it is a great thing to get shelter, especially at this season, and a rug and cloak upon the ground or on a table may be accepted as a good bed when one has a roof over one's head and, as is here generally the case, a stove to warm the room. In front of Duppel, at the little town of Gravenstein, and in that neighbourhood, we hear that accommodation is much harder to be found, and persons proceeding thither are recom mended to take a carriage to servo them as a sleep ing place in case of need. Tnree large vessels were lately seen going up in the direction of Aarhuus, to fetch, it is believed, the troops that fought at Veile and afterwards retired through Horsens. We are puzzled to conjecture the object of the Danes in taking that route, since there is no apparent reason why they should not have gone into Fredericia as soon as the Germans advanced from Kolding, since they did not propose making any serious stand northwards—which, in deed, they had not the means of doing, outnumbered and overmatched as they were. They have given themselves eeveral long marches, of which one would think they had had plenty before, merely to have a l little fight at Veils and to return by sea, in ex tremely bad weather, at Fredericia, and perhaps to Funen. Nobody seems to know what has become of the Danish fleet. None of their men•of-war have for some time been seen. It is thought they may be lying in wait somewhere for the Prussian navy, when that force shall choose to make its appear ance—or at the entrance of the Belt, for the Austrian ships which hare been reported as coming round in this direction. Wherever they are, if it be near to their own coast, they must have had rough work of late, considering the gales that have been blowing over this inclement Cimbrian penin sula, although the natives tell me that those gales, which in moat countriea would be talked of as tem pests or hurricanes, are nothing compared to what is sometimes witnessed in a land where it is no un common occurrence for houses to be unroofed and even completely overthrown by the fury of the winds. The Austrians have gone northwards, I know not how far; the Prussian headquarters continue here for the present, but it would not surprise me if in a few days they were to be transferred to Graven stein—although what is to become of the people they will there dislodge it is impossible to say. It is understood that the sieges of Dappel and Frede ricia, should they take, place, will be commenced simultaneouely. Before, then, however, some time must pass. A good deal of heavy artillery has to be got up. I hear of same having arrived at Flensburg. That far, there is no great difficulty, and the railway has now been opened, at the par ticular urgency of the military authorities, to a place a short distance to the west of Apent ode. But where the railway ceases the labour begins. The roads are very heavy, especially the country roads, and even the highway begins to suffer from great traffic and want of regular repairs. A friend who has just returned from Flensburg informs me that in some places the metalling of the high road is cut completely through. As for minor roads, most of them are full of deep ruts and holes, making the passage of heavy vehicles a matter of great difficulty. Nobody seems inclined to pre dict the probable date of commencement of the two sieges. Some perhaps doubt whether they ever will take place, thinking that if the five great Powers have agreed upon a Conference they will not allow their project to be wrecked on Denmark's refusal. Of those who may thas doubt, some per haps, also hope that the war is virtually at an end, and that there will be no more of this fruitless bloodshed. Of course, military men engaged in a campaign are slow to express such a feeling, and, with a more powerful foe before them, probably none in the Austro•Pruesian army would for an instant entertain it ; but in a war where the forces on either side are so unequal it is evident that even from the most compete triumph no great glory is to be gained. The taking of Duppel and Fredericia might give opportunity for the display of much valour and of excellent military qualities; in sieges, too, the dis proportion of numerical force in great measure dis appears; but many thousand lives might be sacri ficed before the places were reduced, and for what? That foreigners may pity the pigmy whom the giant has crushed. In an attack on Fredericia—which, of course would necessitate a siege of some duration—a large part of the assailing forces would probably have to camp out, especially if a report which has just reached me, that the Danes aro destroyinghamlets and detached houses in the neighbourhood of the fortress, should prove to be correct. Except at Fre dericia and Dappel, there seems n o ch ance of fur ther fighting in this campaign, unless th e D anes should risk a descent on some point of the coast where they may imagine they can obtain an advan tage as partial compensation for their late mishaps. Some of their friends have expressed to me their conviction that they w ill not allele the campai gn o Pfi.sobintiThe attempt of the ki n d, but en d I suspectit ou h Prussians and Aus trians everywhere pretty well upon their guard. For the present there seems no probability of anything of interest occurring op here, and al though the great courtesy and kindness shown ree by Marshal Wrangel, General Falkenstein, and the steff in general render their headquarters a more ag:ccable residence to roe than ,any other I am likely to find in this part of the world, I think it right to leave them for a short time and to visit GravLnstein and the neighbourhood of Duppel where I have not yet been. My next despatch, there fore will, I hope, be from the headquarters of Prince Frederick Charles. You have really some strange people in England.

The Mar.. shat has seen a good deal in the course of the long life which has left him still so fresh and active, but he did seem puzzled at the receipt of several pages of print, consisting chiefly of extracts from Revela tions, or something resembling them, interspersed with parenthetical references to Mrs. Cottle and other distineuished personages. I cannot positively tate the conclusion he arrived at, but there is not much difficulty in divining it. S PAP.E ~~~ The Double Screw at Sea. The columns of The Sun have on various occasion 3 of late recorded trials of steam vessels fitted with double or twin screws, trials which have excited considerable interest from the great importance th© principle under trial bore both towards the Royal and mercantile marine, offering as it does a power of naanceuvering a vessel when un:ler steam such as never could have been attained by the single screw or the paddle.. The public importance of the prin cipal has been fully acknowledged, indeed, by its pirtial adoption by the Admiralty, and th e t „, sti . tnonv given to its merits in the House of Comm ons by Lord Clarence Paget, Sir he. Elphinatone, an d others. These trials have hitherto taken place on the comparatively smooth waters of the Thames, but on Wcdnesday and Thursday, the 16th and 17th inst., the twin screws reached their as yct culminating point of success in the trial trip of the Atalanta from London to Calais, and thence in a race between that port and Dover with one of the fastest boats of the London, Chatham, and Dovcr Railway Company. The Atalanta is an iron vessel, built by Messrs. J. and AV. Dudgeon, of Cubitt- town-yard, Mil'wall; is 500 tons burden, 200 feet long, 24 feet in breadth, 14 feet in depth, and is driven by two screws, with independent engines, the collective power being 200 horse. She is a smart, clipper-looking craft, possessing at the same time large carrying powers. On Wednesday she left Gravesend at 15 minutes past twelve, in charge of Mr; Leigh, Trinity Pilot, the wind being fresh from E.S.E., and the young flood tide coming up against her. The steam was up for the first time, and it was, therefore, not intended to make any official trial of her speed be tween the Thames and Calais, the port to which she was first bound, but in passing the measured mile in Long Reach she was found to be going 14 138 knots, which certainly appeared to confirm the assertion of her builders that she would prove to be, for her tonnege and horse power, the fastest screw vessel afloat. The Nore lightship was passed at 21 minutes past 1, the greater part of the time the port engine only having been at work, owing to some adjustment being required to the starboard crank bearings, but even under these disadvan tageous circumstances the distance, 224 miles, was made in 75 minutes. The wind was now freshen ing, but the water was smooth and the weather clear as tho vessel kept on her course through the Oaze Deeps and the Alexandra Channel, the engines making 120 revolutions without a rattle, and doing their work magnifi cently. At 4.30 p.m. the held outline of the South Foreland was merged in the general dark outline of the English coact under the Atalanta's lee, while the white cliffs of France west of Calais were rising rapidly above the line of waters ahead. At 6 p.m. the Atalanta was in her berth alongside the pier at Calais, just ahead of the paddle mail packet Vivid, with which she was to try her strength across the Channel on the following day. The distance be tween the Downs and Calai s could have been ace complished in considerably less time, quick as it really was, bat for the vessel having been kept on, a mid-channel course between Dover and Calais for some 10 miles, thus deviating from her direct course for the latter place. On Thursday the Atalanta crossed over from Calais to Dever, so as to steam back from the latter to the former place in company with the Vivid, which was appointed to leave with the mail from Dover at 9 30. At 45 minutes past 9 the Vivid came out, and the Atalanta having been, placed in position as nearly as possible abreast of her, the race across commenced. From the time of starting the result was never for a moment in doubt. The Vivid, pitching her bows into the sea as she got clear of the land, was evidently making haul work of it, and fast dropping astern of the Atalanta, which, without throwing a drop of spray over her deck, was making her way in splendid style, end improving her position with every fresh puff of wind and roll of the sea. As the French land was neared the wind freshened, and as it so freshened and the sea rose the better the Atalanta behaved. Calais was reached in 77 minutes by the Atalanta, bat the Vivid was 107 minutes—half an hour behind the double screw. The success was of so decided a character that it was considered un necessary to test the speed of the boat any fur ther, and a return course was therefore shaped for the Thames, where she arrived at 5 p.m., and where she will complete her outfit for the service for which she has been built. In crossing the Channel the action of the screw on each quarter was beautifully distinct through the deep, blue clearness of the water, and it was surprising to notice with what smooth solidity and entire absence of water disturbance of any kind they worked. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE, HOME CIRCUIL—MAIDSTONE, March 17. (Before the Lord Chief Baron.) George Costin, 22, labourer, and Ambrose Lee, 30, described as a mariner, but who is better known as " Gipsy Lee," were charged upon an indictment, and also by a coroner's inquisition, with the wilful mur der of John Limes MU. The prisoners were also charged with robbing the same person, and with using personal violence to him at the time of the commission of the robbery. Mr. Barrow and Mr. Mersham conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Ribton defended Costin, and Lee was undefended, but at the request of the Court Mr. Sharp watched the case:on his behalf. Although these prisoners were charged with the serious crime of wilful murder, the case was in reality merely one of highway robbery, and it was only by a construction of law that they became amenable to the more serious charge. The Chief Baron having summ©d up, The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty on the charge of murder. The prisoners then pleaded Guilty to the charge of robbery, accompanied by violence, and nentenee was deferred. The cases disposed of on the Civil Side have t'cn of the most uninteresting character.
